  • Porn was one of the things that drove development of many of the tools of the internet. It just happens that those innovations have non-porn benefits as well. Things like video and audio compression rates that allowed low-bandwidth streaming. I still find it amazing that I can watch moving video with synchronized audio at speeds barely faster than dialup.

But it can't be denied that the American desire for pornographic materials was a significant factor (if not the defining factor) in the development of consumer-driven internet.
